Community Conversations: Eve Turow-Paul - Hungry: Avocado Toast, Instagram Influencers, and Our Search for Connection and Meaning

Tuesday, December 1, 2020 - 7:00pm

 

As part of our Zoom Community Conversation series, join us on Tuesday, December 1 at 7pm MST for a delicious evening with author and researcher Eve Turow-Paul.

In her newest work, Hungry, she's literally written the book on today's food scene, our social media-heavy cuture, and what they can both tell us about what we really need.

We wait in lines around the block for scoops of cookie dough. We photograph every meal. We visit selfie performance spaces and leave lucrative jobs to become farmers and craft brewers. 
Why?
What are we really hungry for?

Weaving together evolutionary psychology and sociology with captivating investigative reporting from around the world, Turow-Paul reveals the modern hungers--physical, spiritual, and emotional--that are driving today's top trends:

  • The connection between the "death" of the cereal industry and access to work email on our smartphones
  • How posting images of our dinners on social media both fulfills and feeds our hunger for human connection in an increasingly isolated world
  • The ways "diet tribes" and boutique fitness gyms substitute for organized religion
  • How access to round-the-clock news relates to the blowback against GMO foods
  • Wellness retreats, astrology, plant parenthood, and other methods of easing modern anxiety
  • Why "eating local" might be the key to solving not just climate change, but our current global sense of disconnection

From gluten-free and Paleo diets to meal kit subscriptions, and from mukbang broadcast jockeys to craft beer, Hungry deepens our understanding of why we do what we do, and helps us find greater purpose and joy in today's technology-altered world.
